The dude protects the city. Also, rumor has it that if you enjoyed your stay in Bremen, and want to return, you must make sure to touch him before you leave. I haven't done it yet, but I'll definitely be sure to do that eventually.
This is the old city hall of Bremen. It is a very old and very beautiful building. For those of you who dont know, the roofing is green because of this: the outermost layer of the roof is made of copper. When copper is exposed to the earth's elements (i.e. rain, wind, sun, etc) for a very long time, try 100 year or more, the copper turns this greenish color. Sometimes you will even see a U.S. penny with this greenish tint if it is old enough.
A pretty looking church. Again, notice the green tips.
The same church from a farther distance. When I took this photo, I was walking down one of the main shopping areas in Bremen. Initially, when I started walking down this street, my back was to the church. When I turned around to go back to where I started, there is was, popping out right in the middle of the whole deal. I thought it made for a nice shot.
Well there you go. I know that these photos don't necessarily do a great job of showing you where I live or other places in Bremen. But, they are all I have on my computer at the moment, so you will just have to be patient for the other photos to come :) Miss you all.

Those are some nice shots of Bremen. Now, please take some on the nature too. It would be fun for me to see some of the landscape that you traverse on your bike to and from school. Also, you should get up to Hamburg, hook-up w/Anna-Maria and go check in w/Oma. That would be cool. Keep up the blogging, and pray for the State of Football in Washington!
